Tenet Media is no more.
The conservative media network folded Thursday night, just one day after the Department of Justice unsealed an indictment accusing it of being funded by Russian state-controlled media, according to Tenet Media field reporter Tayler Hansen.
The indictment accused Tenet and its founders of receiving nearly $10 million from employees of Russia Today as part of “a scheme to create and distribute content to U.S. audiences with hidden Russian government messaging,” Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement.
Where’s all the “there’s no Russian interference” people at now? Are they doing the mental gymnastics on how they’re going to flip this as being the Democrats fault?

Explain the context, please.
P.S. I tried watching Always Sunny, but couldn’t get past second season. I feel like being an American is a soft prerequisite.

The Russian funds paid for videos by popular far-right personalities, including podcaster Tim Pool and Lauren Southern. Pool has since described himself as a “victim” in the Tenet scandal.
How horrible for those poor, alt-right wing influencers. Imagine finding out that Putin has been paying you all along when you thought you were spewing Russia’s talking points for American scum bags.
Wasn’t there some kind of media or internet crash in Russia during the 2016 or 2020 election? I was on reddit then, and remember there being 2 or 3 days of a solid 99% reduction in pro-Trump posts cuz all the bots suddenly stopped.
